Description

These are ongoing sewing classes where you can work on your own project. Work at your own level and have the guidance you need to gain skills that you can repeat at home.

This is an ideal sewing class to bring a commercial dress pattern and have help with understanding pattern jargon and garment construction.

You could also make a project from a class you might have missed but wanted to do, for example bunting, project bag etc.

This is also a chance to work on a special item which might include making a simple pattern.
You can book one or as many as you like or come to one for some guidance and come back if you need further help a few weeks later.

I attended the class with very little knowledge, having been given a sewing machine as an early birthday present. Julia was very welcoming and put me at ease immediately, sewing can be very scary for a beginner! During the lesson we were shown the basic functions of a sewing machine and how to make a… Read more “Beginners pin cushion workshop”

I felt totally supported throughout the class and completed my cushion cover within the allotted time. It was fun. I have learnt several new skills and my old skills have been re-awakened! I would recommend anyone to come and try a class with Julia

I was terrified by the look of a pattern but Julia demystified it and helped me read the pattern. I cut my pattern and then my fabric for my first ever dress, by the end of the session my dress was well on its way and I cannot wait to progress with it next time!

Would just like to say a big thank you for a most enjoyable morning yesterday at your sewing class, very proud of my pin cushion, the class was more than I expected, you made us feel welcome and relaxed, you cater for all levels of experience, I look forward to booking my next class, nearly… Read more “Pincushion class”

From the moment I arrived at Julia’s house she made me feel at ease and welcome within minutes. My course was to create my very own Bunting.

I really loved attending Julia’s classes. Julia is knowledgeable and patient, even with a beginner like me and a real pleasure to be taught by. I found the class an inspiration and I went away wanting to make the little girls dress all over again! This has given me the buzz to try some new… Read more “Little girls reversible dress class”

I made a drawcord bag (for my son’s PE kit) and thoroughly enjoyed it. Had absolutely no experience at all so Julia took me through the basics of machining, and I had the hang of it in no time. Lots of personal attention (and even homemade biscuits and coffee at the break) and I came… Read more “Drawcord bag”

Julia was communicative and prompt throughout the process, even sending me an email update on New Years Day. The item arrived in wonderful condition and is now a lovely seat cover. Would absolutely order again!
